    I don't think that's really bad, as a thing

    I'm sure it will be very fun to watch; if it's not, because of exploits, then I'll change my tune right quick

    Did they just make a tournament stage list and not include FD?

    Jeeze

    Heh, I was all excited when I got Fox in world of light. Then I remembered I almost never play him, and don't really have any spirits that would buff his attacks very well anyways.

    I've mostly been playing Dr. Mario (with fist & kick upgrades, also down special if I have the slot open) and Pikachu (magnemite for plus electric, gandreda for plus electric, fi for neutral special, and wii fit deep breath for down special). I'd use Mii Swordfighter more, but my nephew has me playing his profile for him and basically exclusively wants to use his crazy miis (always swordfighters, almost always with the super-polygonal spiky boys haircut in bright red, also sunglasses). Incidentally, if you ever wondered what was up with all the bizarre miis on the used Nintendo Wii the Game Grumps got, it probably was the doings of a four year old. My nephew has made miis with the following names:
    • RAHNWORTSL
    • 10qaz
    • 50qaz
    • 100
    • weird
    • 12345
    • yoyo
    • Yoyo's Mom (who, I'd like it noted, is a male mii; diversity!)
    • rtyg1 rtyg
    • ,,,,,,,,,,
    • 1wqaz
    Edit: for comparison

    The teaser image? Definitely. But watch the video, nothing racist about it (unlike some shit Jon said after leaving the show, or some of the voices Arin does from time to time). The teaser image has nothing to do with the video, dunno why they picked that.

    So wait up, Piranha Plant ain't got a fireball move?

    All I know about Piranha Plants is that some of them just pop up out of the pipe, and some of them pop up and shoot a fireball. That's half of their repertoire going unrepresented in Smash.

    Oh brilliant

    Back-air is fire-breath. Just, melee-range fire-breath.

    I guess they figured spiked ball & firebreath would be too many projectiles? You do raise a good point though, fireball breathing is more common than spiked ball, and I can't even recall where the poison cloud comes from.

    It’s a piranha plant variety from the Paper Mario games. A Putrid Piranha.

    I bet the spiked ball started out as a fireball but they changed it to a gordo-like object to represent the high killing power it has. Maybe? I don't remember piranha plants spitting spiked balls in any of the mario games I've played at least.

    I think the spiked ball is from Mario 3

    They don't spit them up, they just use their breath to make them hover up and down

    Maybe it was Mario world

    Mario 3. I recall them largely from the ice world.

    It’s a piranha plant variant called a ptooie.

    Long lists as jokes tend to get my ire, but I appreciate the attention to detail. Also, DLC fighters getting Guidance is good, now to speculate on what Joker's will be about.

    I gave Pirahna Plant a serious shot in a few games against a friend last night and now I know the satisfaction of sniping someone with the spike ball

    Piranha Plant is so strange but it feels like there's something there

    I'm very glad this seems to be where they're getting all their weirdness out before having to go to work on a bunch of crossover characters

    Can the poison cloud be used to pressure people snappign to ledge? Like, hang for too long and eat tons of damage?

    It has no knockback or flinch but it racks up damge real fast.

    Fun note you can hide in it and do whatever the down B being particularly useful

    The most fun you could have with Joker is giving him a reverse guidance from his supporting cast about Pit. He’s a Fool card type, to be sure.

    No I know it does a lot of damage but I think if you were to use it as a "ledge trap" someone could probably just quickly move through it and it'd only do like maybe 8-10% damage.

  • Options

    Yeah my thought there is more to force them to move fast, rather than actually using it to rack up numbers

    Do you think when Joker comes out they'll add Persona spirits because I'm weirdly obsessed with getting all the spirits.

    Hey so, since we aren't having a 'tournament' tomorrow, what say we just have a Smash Night/Afternoon starting at say, 3 PM Eastern? Just show up and we'll open some arenas and have a bunch of friendlies!

    Has anyone figured out how matchmaking actually works?

    I keep getting matched with people at like 1.5 million while I'm at 75k.

    Well, first you bathe and put on your best perfume and dress.

    Then you present your gift to her and hope she finds it acceptable.

    Then she tries to find you a good husband with strong values so you can have a happy family life.

    It's pretty straightforward.

    The bit with Master Hand is part of the true ending, right?

    I don't think so? It definitely leads up to there, but you have the choice of fighting either elder god, or fighting them together, after doing the Master Hand bit.
